Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson hopes to buy in the January market.
But Hodgson urged supporters not to get carried away with the blitz of speculation which fills newspapers at this time of year.
"We have a lot of ideas," the boss told Liverpoolfc.tv: "We're not looking to move anybody out and it would be nice if we could improve our squad with one or two players.
"As I've said to the supporters many times, it's important that we don't just get bodies and numbers. We need people who are going to be very good for the long-term future of the club, or players who are definitely going to make a big difference to us in terms of what we're going to do in the beginning of 2011.
"I'm anxious that we spend our money wisely and that we keep the squad manageable. I don't want to go back to a situation where we have an awful lot of players but many of them are training in a reserve group at Kirkby because they're not first-team material.
"We want first-team material, they cost money and they are not always available in January. I can assure the supporters that never a day goes by without me and Damien Comolli having lengthy discussions about it. But we'll have to wait and see what transpires."
